What happens if you put 92 gasoline in a car that requires 95?
1 Answers
A car that requires 95 gasoline can use 92 gasoline, but they should not be mixed for long-term use. Long-term mixing may cause knocking, insufficient power, and other issues. Especially for cars that require 95 gasoline, prolonged use of 92 gasoline will increase the frequency of knocking and accelerate engine wear. Additionally, when using 92 gasoline in a car designed for 95, it's important to drive carefully and avoid excessive use. This means that if the engine is not continuously running at high speeds, 92 gasoline may not cause significant problems. However, during high-speed operation, higher-octane fuel should be used; otherwise, engine overload could lead to a series of issues. Below is some information about the classification of 95 and 92 gasoline: 1. 92 gasoline refers to gasoline with an octane rating of 92, suitable for mid-range cars (those with lower compression ratios). On December 18, 2013, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the Standardization Administration of China jointly issued the fifth-phase national standard for automotive gasoline (GB-17930—2013, replacing GB-17930—2011). 2. 95 gasoline refers to automotive gasoline with a research octane number (RON) not less than 95 and an anti-knock index (RON+MON)/2 not less than 90.
